I can't imagine my life without my favorite fruit stand. But then again, moose were never know for their imagination #goodbyeApple

The first person who saw your face was delighted by you. Isn’t that something? You managed to bring joy only by breathing. Your mother will occasionally peek through the cracks of your door when you are sleeping, even now, to make sure that she can see the movements of your chest. The boy who kissed you in the park last night isn’t in love with you, he won’t even stay, but he meant every second of those minutes. You’ll walk a city street that your feet have never touched before and you’ll be terrified of getting lost and that feeling is what’ll help you find the way home. You’ll give your money to a homeless man and he will hold your hand firmly between his and he will say ‘thank you so, so much’ and isn’t that something? There’s a piece of music that makes your heart feel like it’s bleeding. Listen to it. Listen to it again. When was the last time you paused to stare at night time? Did you know that there is at least one person in your life who will jump in front of a hail of bullets for you, without your asking. Your entire body is made of nerves. Feel things. Take walks in places you’ve never been. Take photographs of people not everyone considers beautiful. Find loveliness in them. Let go of the things that are killing you from the inside out. One day you’re going to be part of the sky, you’re going to be that beautiful and that necessary but not today. Not today.

As for the bracelet Mom wore to the funeral, what I did was I converted Dad's last voice message into Morse code, and I used sky-blue beads for silence, maroon beads for breaks between letters, violet beads for breaks between words, and long and short pieces of string between the beads for long and short beeps, which are actually called blips, I think, or something. Dad would have known. It took me nine hours to make, and I had thought about giving it to Sonny, the homeless person who I sometimes see standing outside the Alliance Française, because he puts me in heavy boots, or maybe to Lindy, the neat old woman who volunteers to give tours at the Museum of Natural History, so I could be something special to her, or even just to someone in a wheelchair. But instead I gave it to Mom. She said it was the best gift she'd ever received.

When life gives you stress, take pictures of your adorable pets and they'll make it all better.

Pool, programming project talk, and hippie cigarettes. Solid night
